Learning Objectives • Discriminate between the different branded influenza vaccines based on patient’s characteristics • Determine in which patient the different pneumococcal vaccines would be warranted • Identify the different travel vaccine resources • Apply principles of travel vaccines to specific patient travel plans
Outline • Influenza • Pneumococcal Disease • Tdap • Travel Vaccines
LD 148 “An Act to Amend the Laws Governing Drugs and Vaccines Administered by Pharmacists” • “A pharmacist may not delegate the pharmacist’s authority to administer drugs or vaccines; except that a pharmacist licensed under this chapter who has obtained a certificate of administration pursuant to section 13832 may delegate the authority to administer adult vaccines to a pharmacy intern who is under that pharmacist’s direct supervision”
Influenza Virus Strains1 • Influenza A virus • Moderate to severe illness • All age groups • Humans and other animals • Influenza B virus • Milder disease • Primarily affects children • Humans only • Influenza C virus • Rarely reported in humans • No epidemics
2013 – 2014 Influenza Vaccine2,3 • A/California/7/2009(H1N1)-like virus • A/Texas/50/2012(H3N2)-like virus* • B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus* • Yamagata lineage • B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus^ • Victoria lineage *Different than 2012-2013 vaccine ^Quadrivalentvaccine
Evolving Influenza virus – Antigenic Drift4 • Occurs in both type A and type B • Gradual changes to evade immune system • Mutations, substitutions, deletions • Epidemics occur in response to the changes
Evolving Influenza virus – Antigenic Shift4 • Occurs in type A • Sudden, major change in hemagglutinin and/or neuromidiase • Occasional change • New subtype • Little human immunity • Pandemics occur in response to this change
Available Influenza Vaccines *cell-cultured ^ recombinant †available in both trivalent and quadrivalent Adapted from APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery April 2013

What’s New?15 • October 2012 updated ACIP recommendation • Vaccinate women during each pregnancy • Third trimester preferred (after 30 weeks) • Possible adverse events • Increased injection site pain • Arthus reactions, whole arm swelling • Don’t forget about the fathers!
Timing and Spacing of Vaccines1 • Administer all indicated vaccines in the same visit • Individual vaccines in separate syringes injected at separate sites • Live vaccines are separated by 28 days if not administered at the same visit • Inactivated vaccines do not have a minimum interval between administration if not administered at the same visit • Vaccine Series: • Increasing the interval between doses does not weaken immune response • Decreasing the interval between doses may weaken immune response and vaccine’s protection
Vaccines Types1 • Live Attenuated • Intranasal influenza, herpes zoster, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, rotavirus, oral typhoid capsules, yellow fever • Inactivated • Intramuscular influenza, pneumococcal, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, human papillomavirus, hepatitis A and B, meningococcal, Haemophilusinfluenzaetype B, inactivated poliovirus, rabies, intramuscular typhoid
Importance • Travelers can become infected while in a different country and may not develop symptoms until they return home • Introduction of pathogens into new climates can have devastating effects • Small pox introduction to North America • Syphilis introduction to Europe • Recent transmission of region specific diseases • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) – 2003
